Hidden Gem Tour with Jimmy - This trip was the highlight of our entire Scotland vacation! I highly recommend this private tour to anyone looking for a unique and personalized way to explore the area. Me and my wife wanted to get the local perspective on the Scottish country side and not to just see get from one tourist stop to another. Jimmy was our guide for the day he really delivered that and made our experience incredibly enjoyable and stress-free. Even before we met, he was extremely proactive and punctual, calling and texting us with all the pickup details and any tickets we should have booked and ready the day of the trip. He was on time in the morning and did a great job throughout the day with managing our schedule for each stop and accounting for traffic and dropping us off an picking us up at every stop with details on how to avoid any crowds or lines. We felt safe and relaxed at all time with Jimmy driving. As we approached the twisty roads of the Highlands, we also realized how important it is to have an expert driver who knows these roads like the back of his hand. Jimmy knew where to slow down and let the speeding bikes and buses through, and an no point did get aggravated, frustrated or distracted, which made us feel super safe. He was extremely courteous and attentive to our interests and flexible to shifting the schedule and agenda to our desires. We ended up leaving some stops early and instead have a sit down lunch. Jimmy catered to our personal lunch preference and provided a great restaurant recommendation that we thoroughly enjoyed ! That personal touch was invaluable to us and felt so different from any larger group or megabus tours that we took in the past. The private setting also allowed for deeper conversations and a more immersive experience. Jimmy was not only informative but also warm and engaging, making the entire day feel like an adventure with a friend. He also managed to do all this while remaining very professional and proper, letting us nap on the way back and not pryiny, bringing up any controversial topics and minimizing chatter by end of the day,  when everyone was already tired.  Book this trip if you want to maximize what you see in one day and to have a personable and honest guide who cares about making your day special. We would love to come back and take our kids along for a tour with Jimmy next time ! It was an unforgettable experience that we will cherish for years to come!

Amazing tour, don't miss it!!! - We just came back from Scotland last week, we had an amazing time with Jimmy, he took us to see the highlights and we stop in several beautiful places to admire the nature and history of the country. We definitely felt in love with the place and we will going back to visit with more time, however, Jimmy's company made a huge difference in our experience, he was wonderful and funny. I was feeling a little bit dizzy and he took the time to take me to buy some medicine, thank you very much for this trip. 100% recommended 🤩

A perfect day! - What ever else you decide to do in Scotland, do not see the Highlands without Jimmy! His exceptional enthusiasm, professionalism and sense of humour were the highlight of our entire stay. It's almost unreal how many amazing, awe-inspiring, interesting and fun things it's possible to see on this one-day trip without any sense of rush! We did not ask to customise our trip much, but James kept that option available to us, and a longer tailored excursion with him definitely made it to our bucket list! All our friends we told about this wish to do the same as well, so don't be surprised if you will have several customers from Finland in the near future! Thank you so much! 🥰

Kiss a coo! - We had the most amazing day on our tour. From start to finish we were looked after, had lots of laughs and learnt a lot. Jimmy kept us moving but not before he had taken photos of us at every stop! Would highly recommend this private tour over a bus full of people any day! Jimmy even showed me how to feed and kiss a coo!!!

Personal tour guide with the best accent! - Jimmy was a great tour guide! He knew all the great spots to take us, he took the best pictures and was a great conversationalist with the best Scottish accent! He even looked up questions he didn’t know the answer to. He’s very committed to showing you a good time. He made us laugh with his fright of the “miggeys”- make sure he tells you about those! 🤣 I would definitely recommend him to a friend or family member.
